Until she caused him to go blind.

The man grew cranky and unruly, and shut himself away in a remote villa. The people called it the Mansion of the Beast. Late at night, she knocked on the mansion's door.

"Do you know who broke my eyes?"
"......."
"A maid just like you."

A hand cupped her cheek, then passed over her chin and grabbed her neck. She coughed raggedly as her breathing was squeezed out.

"Do you even know how she broke them?"
"......."
"She poured poison into my eyes."

The pressure pressing down on her hand was heavy.

This is the weight of my sins. Even if I spend the rest of my life helping him, I will never be able to erase this karma.

"Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life," the man whispered.

"Next time, we'll both walk this path with our eyes open."

Next time....... She pursed her lips and tried to pronounce it.

For two years, I've been diligently working as an adventurer while hiding the fact that I'm the fourth prince. It seems I've accidentally made advances on a female adventurer whom I've been adventuring with for a long time (cue awkward comedy). And to make matters worse, the woman, Anri, has been disguised using a magical tool called "Disguise" and her true identity is the princess of an enemy nation. Similarly, I've been using a disguise as well. Anri's disguise has been lifted, but mine hasn't. I'm the only one who knows she's a princess.... more>>

If things continue like this, I, as the scumbag who made advances on the second princess (a fact), will cause the kingdom to fall. For the sake of my own love life and to evade responsibility, let's aim for peace negotiations.

Will this battle, which determines the fate of the kingdom, succeed? <<less

My three Essentials for Surviving a Trouble-Filled World: Knowledge, Companions, and Financial Luck.

“I can’t live like this anymore!”... more>>

An arranged marriage that has been going on for two years.

I was tired of being ignored and mistreated as if I had bought this marriage with money.

Since I have received a tremendous inheritance from my grandfather, I will enjoy a glamorous, single life!

With that mindset, I confidently handed my husband divorce papers.

‘Huh?’

“Divorce is absolutely not possible.”

‘Why is he behaving like this when I thought he was on someone else’s side?’

The moment my curiosity about my husband’s true feelings arose, I began to see his inner emotions.

And in a very strange way…

“Are you okay?”

〈 Σ(ﾟﾛ､ﾟ;) 〉

‘Aren’t my husband’s true feelings weird?'

‘Does he really dislike me? Or perhaps…’

〈 (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡ 〉

Could it be that he actually likes me? <<less

“Even if it’s my child, I can still not love them.”... more>>

The day she terminated the 5-year-long contracted marriage and filled out the divorce papers, Hilia left Caligo without a second thought.

Leaving the byproduct of the contracted marriage, their child, with him.

Hilia Halos was a woman who was colder, more selfish, and more wicked than anyone else.

[Here’s the alimony. Since I don’t need this anymore, I’ll hand it over to you.]

That was what he thought, until he ceded the baronial estate that she so coveted and disappeared.

***

Hilia was sure she would be indifferent. About leaving the child, and about abandoning the man who brought her excitement.

“Mother, you don’t, hab to, lub, Riche. Riche gonna, only come, sometime. Riche will, lub you more……”

She was actually indifferent.

She would have been in the future, as well.

If only the dirt-covered child didn’t just appear out of nowhere after four years and told her such a thing.

“So……!”

Tears dripped down the child’s cheeks.

Hilia backed away from the child, who was running towards her with arms wide open.

She could not be a good parent, nor could she love anyone.

“My baby, there are things in the world you just can’t love.”

So, after leaving that single comment, she turned away.

Pretending not to notice the unfaltering gaze in front of her. <<less

“This is why my heart is restless. Let’s try a little harder, empress.”

Ysaris, the princess of a small country.
She was forced to marry the Emperor who killed her fiancé.

She could not refuse. The fate of her homeland was at stake.

“Do you still not understand your place? You are nothing more than a spoil of war. My trophy.”

A bed shared with an enemy. Unnatural obsession and distrust. Arrogant and oppressive demeanor. Blatant disregard and cold treatment.

Enduring all of this, she lived on with difficulty…

“Rather than seeing an heir from that woman, it might be better to kill her right now.”

Ysaris overheard these terrible words from her husband.

Now, there was only one choice left for her.

‘I have to run away.’

Even if just for the sake of her unborn child. <<less

A typical summer for a twenty-three-year-old.

Joo Hwion comes face-to-face with his younger brother, who wore a smile on his face despite the mu*dered corpses of their parents lying at his feet.

No, what he came face-to-face with wasn’t his brother, but an evil spirit.

The knife that killed his parents was now aimed at Hwion, and he strikes a deal with the messenger to return from the boundary of the afterlife.

「All you need to do is exhale a breath into the hand of a living agwi*.」

But what exactly is a “living agwi,” and how is he supposed to find his enemy, the “evil spirit”?

After numerous trials and errors, Hwion ends up hosting a broadcast that focuses on exploring haunted houses.

And four years later, during the summer of his 27th year.

He suddenly encounters a stunning and gorgeous man…

“I was wondering what it was… Turns out it was a piece of tr*sh.”

“…What?”

Of all people, the “living agwi” he had been so desperately searching for turned out to be an arrogant human with a personality problem.

“Ha, someday I’ll make you kneel and beg for forgiveness for what you’ve done.”

“Give it your best try.”

Two individuals who harbor mutual disdain but find themselves entwined by their respective motives.

Will they ever be able to overcome their misunderstandings and achieve their goals?

Nadia, the Imperial Medical Officer of Izetine.... more>>

I saved another world, and I had just come back to my original body.

However, I seem to have become a pe*vert that seduced the crazy dog of the Empire.

It would be ok to just tempt him, but ‘I’ made that crazy dog, Lexion, furious.

I’m afraid of the guy who’s about to choke my neck right now.

Then the system message, which I never thought I’d see again said:

[System Message]
The Fate Quest begins.

Get Spanked on the bu*t by Fate (0/100)

My butt? Why must my bu*t be spanked.

I have a question, wait!

The kingdom boasted a hero and formidable leader of the demon extermination force, Valen Rudwick. Amidst the chaos of battle, he tried to rescue a woman from a demon attack, only to be struck on the back of his head…... more>>

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he saved was not just any civilian but a succubus.

When Valen regained consciousness, he found himself not on the bloody battlefield but in a wedding hall within the demon realm.

“I am Argentine. And you are?”

“Do you think I’ll tell my name to a filthy demon like you?”

Weary from the prolonged wars, the demons proposed a political marriage to him. The absurd condition? It would last until Argentine, whom Valen saved, became pregnant with his child.

The idea of a child with demon blood repulsed him to the core. But pushed to his limits, Valen reluctantly agreed to their proposal.

“Let’s cease these charades and focus on what needs to be done. It’ll be better for both of us,” he growled.

“I want to give you time to accept…”

“Should I give not only my body but also my mind? Will that strengthen my ‘essence’?”

Valen was disgusted by the demons’ hypocrisy. He had intended to leave the demon realm as soon as the succubus bore a child.

“Whether you call for me or come to me, it’s up to you,” he said.

“…”

“I’ll do my da!mned best to give you my seed.”

Valen, the human warrior who despises demons, and Argentine, the demon king who sought peace through a child.

Can the demon realm truly find peace? <<less

Diana needed a place to belong and a name for her to exist alone, away from the Baron family.

She couldn’t bear to let go, even though she knew she was nothing more than a convenient scarecrow and would be rejected by everyone.
